Robert A. Richer: Obama squanders $363 million on worthless website

The Government Accountability Office reports that we have so far expended $363 million taxpayer dollars setting up a website for Obamacare, a virtually worthless product. One wonders how much more will be wasted making the website functional.

The Government Accountability Office reports that we have so far expended $363 million taxpayer dollars setting up a website for Obamacare, a virtually worthless product. One wonders how much more will be wasted making the website functional.

So, what are the chances that Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, or some other senior official responsible for managing this debacle gets canned? I put them at precisely zero. Such is "accountability" under Obama, who blithely tells us to move on, there is nothing to see here.

Some Obamacare supporters say that the exchanges only affect 20 percent of the population, since 80 percent receive their health insurance through their employer, so it's a minor problem. With a labor force participation rate of 62 percent, the lowest since the Stone Age, this is patently absurd.

For those whose votes gave us another four years of this Potemkin village administration: Hold on to your wallets, because you ain't seen nothin' yet.
